Roast and light coffee. Clear mahogany pour with pretty good initial mocha head. Some nut, some caramel. A light hint of lemon. Pretty solid balance. Easy drinking but pleasant. Also better than many of the other eibauers I've recently tried. Bottle.

Costo box can: pours clear yellow gold with white head. Aroma is straw/hay, very bready. Taste is lightly bitter. On the sweet side. Taste is kind of dirty. Cannot say that this is tasteless. I can say it is not great.

Initial smell hits the mark but the follow through leaves something to be desired. Pours golden with decent initial head. Tangy cloying finish. Can from Costco calendar.

16.9 oz. can from the Costco 2025 German Biergarten Collection. Pours a dark rusty brown color with a beige head and good retention. Good lacing too. Dark malt aroma. Sweet dark malt and toffee flavor throughout. Very simple profile, and it works. Very smooth, clean, and repeatable. And the 6.7% ABV is invisible. Medium body Lower than expected carbonation. No bitterness.
